Please respond as soon as possible if a Pi-Apps maintainer requests more information from you. Stale issues will be closed after a lengthy period of time with no response.

Are there openstream servers providing cached music, or does this use something like youtube-dl or yt-dlp as the backend?
The reason I ask is because I once wrote a program like this called PiTunes - it was never finished it but it was a very similar idea.

from pi-apps.

It uses ytdl (a node frontend for YouTube-DL)

EDIT: We don't have servers so it's easier to do it on the client side.

from pi-apps.

You could contribute some features from PiTunes if you wanted?

PiTunes is all a bash script. Most of the code was to handle a playlist behavior with random ordering, editing, automatically splitting songs based on timestamps found in the description, and allowing manual trimming of each audio segment. It also had a simple scripting language for importing other people's playlists. I doubt any of that could transfer over to a project written in node.

from pi-apps.

I was only meaning suggestions. Are you merging or closing?

from pi-apps.

It is a free and open source music streaming service that has no ads or accounts. It uses its own database or YouTube Music's if it doesn't have the song.

To me this sounds like a GUI frontend for piracy. You need to explain what is included in your database, where you steam those files from, and what license you have for that media where applicable.

You cannot download anything.
They come directly from Google's servers.

What's your opinion on Youtubuddy then? It's the same concept.

You did not define what the "own database" is. That is what I was asking about.

Streaming from YouTube using their API is already proven legal (in the US at least) and there isn't any debate about that. I was not asking about that part though.

from pi-apps.

It's a json file with links to some mp3s.
It's currently in progress to remove as we now use YT Music.

from pi-apps.

It seems that user techguy16 is giving us minimal information. (spoonfeeding)
It's okay. You're welcome to go in depth. We can handle it. @techguy16, please explain the full flow of information - like how the user picks songs, how they are served up, how the audio is downloaded, and from where, and how it is stored, and if you have thought through legal implications like the situation youtube-dl had to undergo.

from pi-apps.

The user can choose from the "database" JSON that we have (set to be removed soon) on the homepage or search YouTube Music.
It then searches YouTube Music for that song. After that YTDL-Core gets the mp3 url and streams it if the song is clicked. The audio cannot be downloaded from YT Music, so you can only play it.
As of now I'm currently working on scrubbing cache after a song is played.

from pi-apps.

One thing I notice quickly is the ancient version of electron used.
This is very dangerous given that your application loads images and is vulnerable to the webp CVE (and many others)
https://github.com/openstreamorg/openstreammusic/blob/b7a8a108e1d684cb2670da4162358f062539e5a5/desktop/package-lock.json#L4164-L4174

Please use one of the actively supported stable electron releases https://releases.electronjs.org/

from pi-apps.

Hey @theofficialgman, in 1.3 I'm updating it to Electron 22 so I can still support Win7 but patch many security issues. (Commit f23ea5a)

And the bit about YouTube-DL and the legal stuff, it's not my problem. If the ytdl-core project dies, the Internet Archive it is.

22 is also EOL as of 2+ weeks ago so that isn't enough. People have had years of extra time to move off of that platform. Sorry it's time to let that OS support die.

If you want to support windows 7, don't use a browser as your GUI toolkit.

from pi-apps.

Supply a separate build for Win7?

Supply a separate build for Win7?

That is up to you, @techguy16.

from pi-apps.

What I'm now doing:

• Windows 7&8 and 10&11 have a separate build (npm run install-app-deps-win7 for Windows 7 and npm run install-app-deps for 10&11)
• Linux uses the latest Electron version.

Please wait until 1.3 is release before merging (only if you are).

Updated to Version 1.3

OpenStream Music/website

https://openstreamorg.github.io

the linked website does not exist/work

from pi-apps.

@theofficialgman it's the homepage for OpenStream, the organization that "owns" OpenStream Music.
It does work by the way.

from pi-apps.

it is a very good and descriptive homepage if it is working as intended

from pi-apps.

The site is working for me.

from pi-apps.

It works for me as well. It must be an issue on your end.

from pi-apps.

manually changed to http
got some info

currently on university connection.... I doubt it was manually blocked. Something on their scraper must have found something phishy on the webpage. Was this domain owned before by something else maybe?

from pi-apps.

@techguy16, I have given OpenStream a try. It looks good in some ways. As a test user, I found some issues and opened some support issues on your github. https://github.com/openstreamorg/openstreammusic/issues

After my review, I concluded that currently OpenStream seems to still be in alpha stage - with significant issues present. My recommendation is to get the app to a high level of "functional" before it is added to the largest ARM Linux app store.

from pi-apps.

@Botspot, 2.0 is on the cards, which is a major revamp and fixes lots.
It is designed for Pi 4's and up, even though it runs on my Pi 3B+.
Thank you for your time and trying OpenStream Music. I see some of the issues are quick fixes, so I'll get onto them pretty soon.

from pi-apps.

@techguy16, have you dropped work on this?

from pi-apps.

No, I've just got distracted with other random things 😀 (Such as LinStore, which competes with Pi-Apps, don't get angry)

from pi-apps.

Should I just go ahead and close this issue then?

from pi-apps.

For now, I'll get back eventually (hopefully...)
